speedjunkie, rishie told me the 17x9+45 needs a minimum order and would take awhile to receive.. so i went with my friend who just got me a set no problem a month later as for rubbing, if rishie recommends such a fitment, you'll be okay on a different note, i think my rears could probably benefit from a 10mm spacer purely from a comestic point of view..

anyhow, we had a chance to meet up with clean cars and a friend of mine took pics for us - here's just a couple pics from that night.. should have more lying around somewhere

 

Oh I see, OK. Yeah he told me it wouldn't rub but I'm not sure he understood that I meant bumpsteer (or whatever) and not rubbing the fender. But either way, I'm rolling with it, haha. He told me it wouldn't rub so I'm taking his word for it. He said I'll have to roll the rear fenders if I put 285s on it, but maybe not with 265s. But Ramy is running the same size and offset with 285s and said he won't rub, so I'm going to put them on without tires when I get them and see how close it is. I want to run as fat as possible of course, so I'm thinking anywhere between 265 to 285. Either way I'm looking at April to June timeframe (not sure if it's cause of the front, back or both) and I ordered them in January, trying to have them by April for Deal's Gap. So I'm hoping for a miracle, haha. Again, I say nice FDs!

 

Omochi, what camera was being used on those clean car shots?

That looks perfect, like a magazine shot.

 

too much rubber =-o

 

wow...i love those Enkei's...i gotta get a second set of wheels...very nice.

 

omochi that second pic is amazing, my props to the photographer

 

what year is the red one??

 

hey guys, thanks for the kind words

the cam is canon 350d w/ a 17-40L..

the red one (mine) is a 93 base... and as for the too much tires, i actually like the beefy look i had 18s before and they were rubber bands.. hehe.. looked cool but meh :o

here's a pic of both the cars

 

More ^

 

If I were to have to sets of wheels: Works for bling and Enkei's for racey. good stuff.

 

you two and your drivable FDs!!! grrrrrrr

 

Back from the dead!

Omochi, do you have any shots of the front wheels that show how flush they sit in the fenders? I want to get the same setup 17x9 up front and just wanted to see a pic of how the wheels fit. Nice car btw!

 

Both cars look Fing sweet. I like the 17x9 with the 255 RT-615s.... hawt!

 

I don't mind looking at this thread again but you could have just PM'd him. He may not be subscribed to this thread... ya never know.

 

I like the black wheels a lot!

 

hey wan, i'll take some pics for you later today! they dont sit flush with the fenders up front tho. and thx to those for the compliments

 

Yep glass

 

i have the racing beat type 2 wing... its a bit diff.. u cant change the downforce or anything.. like this one u prob can because it looks like it

 

very nice pics, how long was the shutter speed? the dude by the wrx looks like the ghost of street racing hell hahaha

 

Thanks!

 

hope this helps! look at the rear


oh, shutter speed for the pic was 1" i believe.

 

^Spacers brotha, spacers! You already have them, put 'em on! Haha. Looks good though. Gotta love them RPF1s,

 

pics don't do justice here... car looks better in person... don't you agree hedge

 

that all white parking garage looks like an amazing place to take pictures

 

gorgeous car man...love the wheels.
